	Description:		AJ Odudu is a TV presenter that you may recognise from programs such as Big Brother's Bit On The Side, Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins, Don’t Rock The Boat and more recently behind the scenes for The Voice UK! In addition to her presenting achievements, she’s also a DJ, a qualified personal trainer, and a contributor to publications including Vogue and Marie Claire. AJ and I first met a few years ago when she was hosting an event with some girlfriends to facilitate more open conversations around money. With her career going from strength to strength, I was excited to catch up with her to see how her financial journey has evolved. Since our last meeting, AJ has purchased her first property, sharing her renovations and interior developments on Instagram. Getting onto the property ladder can feel like an unattainable goal for many millennials with house prices almost 15 times more expensive than they were 40 years ago (Trussle, 2019). AJ opens up on how she made this dream a reality and gives her encouragement for others aiming to buy their first place. In this episode of The Wallet, AJ also shares how she remains positive and stands firm in her values when it comes to realising her worth through negotiating pay; how she’s constantly had to overcome the fear of failure and take risks over the course of her career; and how she hopes to tackle the racism and cultural bullying that she has experienced throughout her life.
